Maharashtra Weather Update: Season’s First Winter Chill Expected, Rain Alert Issued for These Districts
As winter chill sets in, rain is expected in many districts of Maharashtra
Maharashtra weather update says that the state is likely to experience the first feeling of cold and rain in some parts. According to Anupam Kashyapi, former head of the weather forecasting department of IMD Pune, night temperatures are expected to drop in Maharashtra between November 17 and 21. This change is likely to happen due to the low pressure system coming from the Bay of Bengal and the western disturbance passing through Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
Weather Changes and Temperature Drop Expected in Maharashtra
Maharashtra weather update states that night temperatures may rise slightly due to clouds and humidity in the coming days, but cold will be felt in Maharashtra along with northern and central India between November 17 and 21. This will lead to a drop in the minimum night temperature, which will bring the first cold feeling of this season.
Temperature forecast:
- Temperatures have dropped in Mumbai, where the minimum temperature was recorded at 20 degrees Celsius this week. According to the weather department, the temperature will increase slightly from Thursday to Sunday and then fall again.
- Pune, Ahmednagar, Nashik, Jalgaon and other parts of the state have also seen a drop in minimum temperatures.
Rain Alert and Yellow Warning for Konkan and Western Maharashtra
The Maharashtra Weather Update further indicates that a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal has resulted in moisture-laden clouds and strong winds, creating a cyclonic effect that could bring rain to Maharashtra’s Konkan and western regions. A yellow alert has been issued by IMD for parts of Konkan, warning of potential rain and gale-force winds in Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Kolhapur, Satara, and Sangli districts on November 14-15.
Yellow Alert for Rain:
- Moderate to heavy rain, coupled with gusty winds, is expected in parts of South Konkan and South Madhya Maharashtra, including districts such as Ratnagiri and Kolhapur.
- Thundershowers are anticipated in these regions, with possible light to moderate rainfall in isolated areas.
Increased Chill in Mornings with Fog and Clear Afternoons
With the recent drop in night temperatures, Maharashtra has experienced cold, foggy mornings followed by sunny afternoons. This clear morning-to-afternoon transition may persist over the next few days. Cities like Pune, Nashik, and Nagpur have seen a marked increase in morning chill and are expected to remain relatively cool.
District-Specific Weather Updates
The Maharashtra Weather Update includes localized forecasts for specific districts where colder conditions have been observed:
- Low Temperatures: Cities including Pune, Ahmednagar, Jalgaon, Mahabaleshwar, Nanded, Nashik, Parbhani, and Nagpur have recorded noticeable temperature drops, and these cooler conditions are likely to continue for the upcoming week.
- Pune and Surrounding Areas: The weather in Pune is expected to remain mostly clear, with fog possible in the morning hours. There may be some cloud cover on November 14, but conditions are expected to remain dry.
Seasonal Weather Summary
In summary, Maharashtra residents can expect a brief warm spell followed by cooler nights, while rain and wind may impact certain districts in Konkan and western Maharashtra. Those in colder areas like Pune, Nashik, and Nagpur should prepare for the season’s first real dip in temperatures as winter makes its early mark across the state.
